Plug In Delay Compensation N4SE & Logic

[zaxmalloy]

I cannot get Numerology 4 SE to reliably sync to MIDI in Logic Pro X. For example, using Numerology as a MIDIFX, the N4 preset misses the first step on playback no matter how I configure it to trigger.

In MIDI/Sync Project Settings I have the box checked next to Auto Compensate Plug In Latency. If the region loops, sometimes beat 1 plays...but not consistently.

Any ideas?

I've got the same problem with Ableton. When running it as a Midi plugin, or even as a Standalone Re-Wired, midi sync is off. I've tried everything, delay compensation, track delays, etc but it's always out of sync.

Tell me more about your setup: AU or VST (use the VST), internal or external instruments, etc.

Re: Logic --- I've got a couple other issues to sort out, then Logic sync oddities will be looked at...

Actually just figured out what was 'causing' it or at least how to fix it and returned to the Forum to update my findings - so good timing.

I had to select Quantization as None instead of the Default value. That and using MIDI Toggle option to trigger have solved it- at least experimenting with a single track in LPX. Haven't tried anything more complex yet.

Update: I still have not been able to consistently solve this issue in LPX 10.3.3 and would appreciate some advice.

Numerology 4.2SE run as a MIDIFX plug-in or as an instrument on separate track (using environment to wire) over an IAC Bus still results in the sequence failing to play the first 1/16 note (120 bpm tempo) at the beginning or on reset. The rest of the sequence will typically play in sync and it will loop correctly until it loops to a reset point (Song start, region start). It just consistently misses the first note.

I have checked (and unchecked) the Auto Plug in Delay Compensation in LPX project settings which seems not to make a difference.

Is this something the N4 Pro version "solves" since it has PDC as a feature?

I have N4 Pro, and experiencing the same issues (with Cubase).

Exactly as you describe in your OP.

No fix as yet.
